Wärtsilä launched its Communication and Control Centre (Wärtsilä 3C) solution at the SMM exhibition in Hamburg, Germany on 7 September.
The system is a new way of thinking, and it will be the first system to integrate the entire vessel’s control into one solution. All the needed ship’s controls and alarms are integrated with a common interface for the highest efficiency and best possible situational awareness. 3C has been designed in co-operation with experienced maritime professionals to ensure fluent control of the vessel, and to make ship operation easier and safer than ever before.
Efficiency Optimization
The 3C system is a key enabler for the leveraging of energy management and integrated navigation solutions, and offers efficiency optimization and emissions reduction benefits. Route planning, optimal engine configuration and decision support will increase the vessel’s fuel economy and reduce the maintenance requirements of the ship’s systems. In optimizing engine performance, and ensuring maximum power availability with high efficiency, fuel consumption and harmful emissions are reduced.
Suitable for All Vessel Types
The modularized components and customized design make the system suitable for all types of vessels. Furthermore, regardless of the ship’s level of redundancy, it will maintain the same high system design and component quality. The navigation technology used is supplied by Raytheon Anschütz, a proven provider of advanced maritime navigational systems.
